SWH..couldnt agree more..the point being is that standard actually valued?..or set as a barrier to those who dont qualify?..just a thought.
UR2.....Ive flown the bus Sim..and I dont like it..just a personal preference thing, I guess Im a boeing man, also Im not about to part with any hard earned flight pay, just so some Lo-Co can line its pockets with an inflated sum for a type-rating. A bond is ok..stumping the cash up isnt.
Ryainair as you well know are now so short of crews that they are trying all sorts of tricks to try and get guys...mostly because IMHO they screwed crews for too long(paying for type-ratings), and now very few experienced pilots want to work for them.
